Leeds United transfer news: Whites suffer £25m blow as striker tipped for Elland Road move prices himself out of Premier League return

It’s exactly two weeks until January transfer window deadline day – and Leeds United are yet to see any new players walk through the doors at Thorp Arch.

While youngsters Ryan Edmondson, Jordan Stevens and Robbie Gotts have sealed loan moves away from Elland Road, it remains very flat in terms of incomings.

There was never an expectation that Leeds would be busy in the window - far from it - but that’s failed to put an end to ongoing speculation.

One player who has been continuously linked with a switch to West Yorkshire is Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, but that definitely won’t be happening now.

Various reports over the last 24 hours have claimed the 23-year-old is closing in on a move to AC Milan, a deal which is a loan for the remainder of the season with a purchase option of £25million.

The England international was touted as a potential replacement for summer signing Robin Koch, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth striker Josh King, someone Kevin Phillips believes would “100% interest” the Whites, is reportedly pricing himself out of a Premier League move this month.

His £120,000-a-week wages are proving a stumbling block for the likes of Newcastle United, Everton Aston Villa and Fulham. They could now wait until the summer when his contract expires at the Vitality Stadium.
